LEGAL RECRUITMENT

"breath of fresh air"

It has been a breath of fresh air working with you. You worked exceptionally hard to achieve success. You are both very approachable, honest and an absolute pleasure to work with. Thank you for all your support and effort!

"Exceptional insight and support"

Shared Access has worked with Haggerty Jaques for over two years now, during which period they have provided us with exceptional insight and support. Amy and Katie quickly got to grips with our business, how we work and what we were looking for so they were able to add significant value to the recruitment process at every stage. Amy and Katie demonstrated a huge depth of knowledge of the legal recruitment market which gave us great confidence and their care and attention throughout was of the highest level.

"whole heartedly recommend them"

The Haggerty Jaques team is exceptional, and I would whole heartedly recommend them to anyone in the profession. Both Katie and Amy are dedicated to finding the perfect job for you as an individual and never looking to fill a role just for the sake of it. The collective experience that both ladies have in the legal market means that you will receive a totally personalised, devoted and supportive service where you feel nothing but confidence in them and the whole process. There is no one else I would trust when considering a role; they’re an absolute dream to work with.

"Their services are unique"

Amy and Katie are both fantastic people and I am so glad I found them during my search for a NQ position. Their services are unique and unlike any other recruitment agency I have worked with; together they create an exceptionally high standard of service. They took time out to get to know me and created a tailored service to ensure I secured a new job which was the right fit for me. I was kept informed at all stages and provided with a wealth of assistance with interview preparation. I would highly recommend Amy and Katie to any lawyer looking for a new job.

"best recruitment experience I have ever had"

Amy and Katie helped me secure my current role when I re-located from Manchester to Leeds and I can honestly say it is the best recruitment experience I have ever had! Amy and Katie took the time to understand what I was looking for (and what I wasn’t looking for!) and their experience really shows with their helpful tips and guidance throughout the whole process.
I would highly recommend Haggerty Jaques!

"Open and transparent"

I have used Haggerty Jaques for a number of years now and have found them to be outstanding in their field. They take the time to get to know your requirements and field good quality, high calibre candidates who fit the brief. They are completely open and transparent in their approach and a real pleasure to work with.

"Amazing experience"

Highly recommended. It was truly an amazing experience. Thank you so much Katie and Amy for all your support and guidance.

"Very knowledgeable"

I met Katie and Amy while they were recruiting for two in-house legal positions at a telecommunications company, one of which I eventually secured. They were very knowledgeable about their client and what its needs were, which was evident by how much time they had spent preparing candidates for each interview stage. I would highly recommend them to any solicitor searching for a new role.

"Sound advice & reassuring support"

I would highly recommend Haggerty Jaques, they were on-hand at all times throughout the recruitment process to give sound advice but also reassuring support. The process was the first time I had to interview virtually and Haggerty Jaques couldn't have been more helpful in sending pointers and suggestions to how to come across well on camera. Thank you for all your help.

"take pride in everything they do"

I’ve worked with Katie and Amy for several years now and they are an absolute pleasure! They take the time to understand our business, but also our needs and requirements that we’re looking for. We don’t recruit all the time, but they’ll still stay in touch to see how things are going or whether anything has changed. It’s clear that they care immensely and take pride in everything they do.

"Highly effective"

Katie and Amy are highly effective recruitment consultants. They took time to understand my skillset and background, as a commonwealth qualified lawyer, and used their extensive knowledge of the UK legal market to place me in a brilliant commercial litigation team. I would recommend Katie and Amy to any lawyer considering the next step in his or her career.

"Always Available"

Katie and Amy were absolutely amazing throughout the whole recruitment process. They were always available and willing to answer any questions. I would 100% recommend Haggerty Jaques to anyone looking for a new or change in their legal career!

"Very professional, polite and helpful"

Highly recommended. The Haggerty Jaques team are very professional and at the same time polite and helpful. I recently got a job through them and they guided me throughout the process, telling me what to expect, how to present myself etc. It was truly an amazing experience with them. Thank you so much Katie and Amy for all your support and guidance. I wish you all the best and success ahead.

"Fantastic standard"

A fantastic standard of service from start to finish. Thank you for your assistance.

"Detailed preparation"

Haggerty Jaques were consistent in communication, ensured I was informed at all times and went above and beyond to identify the right position for me along with assisting me with detailed preparation for interviews.

"Luckily, I managed to find Haggerty Jaques"

After spending several years with the same company, I found myself looking to make a big change, but didn't feel that I knew the local job market well. Luckily, I managed to find Haggerty Jaques and get the professional guidance that I needed! I really appreciated that Katie and Amy took the time to get to know me well so that they could provide a top-notch personalised service. I've been thrilled with the job they helped me get, and I highly recommend working with them on your next career move!

"I can never express my gratitude enough!"

I have found the most wonderful job (very quickly may I add) and I can never express my gratitude enough!

"Nothing short of excellent"

My experience with Haggerty Jaques has been nothing short of excellent. Amy and Katie were highly professional and attentive throughout. They took the time to understand me as a candidate and provided a truly bespoke service. Knowing I had such a dependable team backing my corner allowed me to approach the recruitment process with confidence.

"exemplary"

Katie and Amy come highly recommended by many people, and it is clear to see why. Although I have not secured a position through HJ during my career (no fault of theirs), I have found the service and attention provided to candidates to be exemplary. They have taken time out of their busy schedules, knowing I wasn't looking to apply to any of their positions, to discuss the legal market, wider opportunities, salary insights and how to prepare for an interview In House on one occasion. They also do not pester you with relentless mailers or calls like some recruiters do but are always available for a Teams Call when needed. They have become my first port of call whenever I need to discuss recruitment matters and I fully trust their advice and desire to achieve the best outcome possible for their candidates.

"FIVE STARS"

Five stars for my experience with Haggerty Jacques! I can't recommend Katie and Amy enough; they were wonderfully friendly, helpful, and enthusiastic throughout the entire process. They went above and beyond to make sure I was ready and knew what to anticipate at each stage of the recruitment cycle. Without their dedication, commitment, and tenacity, I wouldn't be working in my dream position which they helped me to secure. Excellent from start to finish and genuine people who are sincere in their efforts, even after you begin your role. Strongly recommend!

"THE BEST I HAVE WORKED WITH"

Thank you for all your efforts in getting me a job this year. Since I started speaking to recruiters two years ago you have been the best I have worked with.

You are very efficient, honest and helpful. I really do appreciate it You have been great to work with, thank you.

"REALLY REFRESHING HUMAN APPROACH"

I approached Haggerty Jaques after deciding to tentatively explore whether other opportunities in the legal market were available to me. My practice area is relatively niche and I was keen to ensure my next move suited me from both a professional and cultural perspective.

Both Amy and Katie were fantastic to work with. Not only did they place a real emphasis on understanding what I was looking for, they acted as invaluable sounding boards throughout. I never felt any pressure to take any particular role and throughout the process I felt genuinely supported.

Amy and Katie bring a really refreshing and human approach to recruitment. I’d have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them to anyone looking for their next role in the legal sector.

"REALLY UNDERSTOOD WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR"

Changing jobs can be a difficult decision but having Amy and Katie on side really simplified the recruitment process. I found them to be incredibly knowledgeable of the market, but crucially, they really understood what I was looking for and only suggested opportunities that fitted my requirements. Nothing was too much trouble for them. A great, hardworking team which understandably produces results! Thanks again Team HJ!

"ABOVE & BEYOND"

Haggerty Jaques provide a great service. They are an efficient and incredibly friendly team who genuinely care about placing you in the right role. They go above and beyond what is expected, not only to place you, but to make sure that you are happy and settled in your new role. I would recommend their services to anyone.

"PERSONALISED & BESPOKE TO ME"

Being a junior lawyer, I have had many dealings with different recruiters in my journey of establishing my legal career. I came to a point soon after qualifying that I wanted to change practice areas and came across Haggerty Jaques. From the get go I was blown away with how Amy and Katie work. Everything in the process was personalised and bespoke to me. I did not feel like just a candidate, but rather a valued individual with a set of skills, experience and aspirations that Amy and Katie worked with in order to introduce me to the perfect role. A few months following on from that first meeting where we went through my CV and identified roles that I was interested in, I am now in that perfect role and could not be happier. Thank you for everything!

"REALLY IMPRESSED"

We instructed Haggerty Jaques to assist us with a significant recruitment project and were really impressed by how smoothly the process went and how quickly they found us two great new hires. It wasn’t a standard brief but Katie and Amy understood exactly what we were looking for and only sent us the CVs of candidate who fitted the bill. It meant that we didn’t need to sift the applications ourselves and instead interviewed all of the candidates we were sent. It was clear from the interviews we conducted that the candidates properly understood the role and were therefore well prepared and committed to the process. This vastly reduced the time that we as a business spent on recruitment and has ultimately resulted in a fantastic outcome for us and for our new recruits.

"EXCELLENT SERVICE AND A PLEASURE TO DEAL WITH"

Haggerty Jaques recently placed a legal director into my team. They provided an excellent service and were a pleasure to deal with.

"A TRULY REFRESHING EXPERIENCE"

Working with Katie and Amy was a truly refreshing experience. Different from other agents, they acted in a very professional manner while at the same time being extremely supportive and helpful throughout the process. I would wholeheartedly recommend Katie and Amy for their hardworking dedication.

"BRILLIANT TEAM"

I have been working with Haggerty Jaques for some time now – firstly as a client (they had recruited lawyers for my team) and more recently as a candidate.

 When I came to start considering a move as a partner, Amy and Katie knew exactly which opportunities would suit me.  They suggested the perfect move to advance my career, which was an opportunity I may not have identified without them.  I'm very grateful for their expertise and genuine commitment to achieving the very best outcome for me.

Amy and Katie make a brilliant team.  They are knowledgeable, highly skilled and clearly love their work, which makes them truly exceptional at what they do.

"BEST RECRUITMENT AGENCY"

Haggerty Jaques helped to place me into a new role during what proved to be a difficult time for me as I neared the end of my training contract. Katie & Amy were so kind, friendly, helpful and genuinely cared about ensuring I was being placed in the right role for me. They were very diligent in advising me where I needed to improve my CV in order to ensure my best chances of success with interviews and were great in liaising between me and my future employer. They have been the best recruitment agency I have ever worked with and I would highly recommend them to everyone I know!

"GENUINELY CARING"

I have been approached by recruiters before, but Amy and Katie really stood out with their knowledge and support. They were not only professional but also genuinely caring, guiding me through every step of the process. They took the time to understand what I wanted and tailored their approach to fit my needs, helping me present my best self. Their encouragement and advice significantly boosted my confidence, making me feel fully prepared. Working with them felt like teaming up with friends. I am incredibly thankful for their help in landing my dream job, and I cannot recommend Amy and Katie enough!

"VALUED AND CONFIDENT"

As a recent graduate, I was finding the graduate recruitment online application processes impersonal and demoralising. However, Haggerty Jaques completely turned everything around for me. From the moment I submitted my CV, Amy and Katie provided invaluable support, offering guidance, pre-interview preparation and even checking in with me as I transitioned into my new legal role. Their personalised approach made me feel valued and confident throughout the entire process. I'm incredibly grateful for their support and couldn't recommend them more highly!
